Terraform allows you to specify provider version constraints in the configuration’s terraform block, which can be different from the Terraform binary version1. Terraform will use the newest version of the provider that meets the configuration’s version constraints2. You can also use the dependency lock file to ensure Terraform is using the correct provider version3. References =
